HonkyTonker Resource Center (not a band)

About Me

This used to be the site for BC's American Saloon. It was so jam-packed full of good band contacts and great fans, I can't let it go. It's now the HonkyTonker Resource Center.

Which means, in simple terms, it's a myspace for bands that could feesibly be booked in a honky tonk.. If you know you couldn't, and I'm tough, don't bother!!

WE ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE NEW BC'S!

OLD SHOWS you should have gone to:

NO "NEW" COUNTRY

I'm not sure why this is so hard to fathom, but if your music sounds more like pop, is reminiscent of the 90's, or you're frosting your hair and wearing flip flops and jeans that are better suited to ...
